John Lennon-working class hero, rebel with a cause, citizen of
the world. He would have been 65 this year. A quarter of a century
after his death, the questions remain: what was John Lennon really
like, what drove him to the heights of creativity and the depths of
despair, and why do his music and message still resonate for
millions around the world? Now acclaimed broadcast journalist and
author Larry Kane uncovers the mysteries of Lennon''s life and
implodes the myths surrounding it. Kane definitely has the right
credentials for the job. He was the only American reporter who
traveled in the Beatles'' official entourage to every stop on their
history-making first American tours, and he stayed in touch with
Lennon until an assassin ended the former Beatle''s life.
Lennon Revealed is filled with revelations about John
Lennon''s path from public glory to personal destruction, and
ultimately to the inspiring rebirth that defines a triumph of the
spirit. Drawing on extensive personal accounts and extraordinary
new interviews with more than 50 confidants and experts-most
notably, with Yoko Ono-Kane brings the reader closer than ever to
the man who, in life and in death, has had a singular impact on
humanity. Kane also provides stunning new information about
Lennon''s relationships with Ono, his childhood soulmate Stuart
Sutcliffe, his lover May Pang, and Beatles manager Brian Epstein.
The book includes an exclusive DVD featuring the final filmed
interview with Lennon and Paul McCartney, conducted by Larry Kane
in 1968. Brief clips from this famous interview have appeared in
just a few places, including the official documentary
Imagine.
